Come up with a plan you can live with, and be strong. Remember, boundaries are created out of love and concern, for both parties.

There is just an ABUNDANCE of free resources for you to tap into.... church pastors, Stephen's ministers, 12 step programs and Al-Anon, youtube, library books & videos, online support groups, hot lines, warm lines, women's shelters (they have free programs).... Been there!!!!

Your responsiblity it to your child and yourself. You may not get it right now, but when you are WITH those types of people, don't you realize you come away from those encounters feeling lonely and abused? Have you looked at that liklihood that you are addicted to their chaos? It's not just your "being a good little girl" crap here. But, you own the seed of knowledge. Now you need to research and look at yourself to get it all to grow healthy for you and your child.

My family is a pretty crazy place and although I would be tolerable of another family I doubt my gf would ever be introduced to mine. I think it's best that way.

I have worried and worked on myself over the codependency issues, being addicted to the drama. It is something that I watch myself carefully for that behavior now and try to pull out of situations where I catch myself playing the game too. It's not anybodys fault but mine if I keep putting myself and my son in these situations. Part of me knows that I need to cut myself off completely and live my life without that but it is very scary for me to do that. Probably part of it is the codependency and knowing what my role is with them vs figuring out what my role is in a life without the drama.
